Her love was stolen from her in an outlaw ambush on the night road to Dodge City—leaving, young Charity Prindle widowed and alone, with the fires of vengeance burning in her breast. The winds of desire swept across the Kansas plains carrying Charity into the powerful arms of Luke Sterling—the handsome gunfighter who would teach the determined beauty his fabled skills...and reawaken her womanly passions with the sweet promise of ecstasy. In a rugged land where a smoking gun was the only law, a bold and turbulent love was born on danger's trail.
